#### Constructing a Cast Round Slot

Similar to a Cast Circle, you can construct a Cast Round Slot by changing any given feature into a slot. Planner uses the Cast option from the Construct Round Slot dialog box to construct the slot at the centroid of the input feature.

The following guidelines are used when you construct a cast slot:

- The diameter or width of the input feature is used as the width of the slot.

- The length of the input feature is used as the length of the slot.

- If the width or diameter of the input feature is 0 (zero), the width of the slot is the probe's diameter.

- If the length of the input feature is 0 (zero), the length of the slot is set to three time the probe's diameter.

- The vector of a line feature will be used as the slot's angle vector; the vector of any other feature types is used as the slot's surface vector.

To construct a cast round slot:

1. Access the Construct Round Slot dialog box either from the menu Insert | Feature | Constructed | Round Slot or clicking the Constructed Round Slot button from the Constructed Features toolbar.

2. Select the Cast option.

3. Select one feature of any type.

4. Click the Create button.
